Weird & Wonderful Golf Moments | 2023 DP World Tour Championship

From Rory McIlroy's tee shot landing on a fan's lap to Viktor Hovland playing off of a wooden bridge. Here are some of the best of the weird and wonderful moments we saw at the 2023 DP World Tour Championship.


The DP World Tour returns to Jumeirah Golf Estates this week for the 15th edition of the DP World Tour Championship as the top 50 on the Race to Dubai compete in the season-ending Rolex Series finale. Rory McIlroy’s fifth Race to Dubai title is already secured coming into the week, but the Northern Irishman is bidding to close out his season by winning the DP World Tour Championship for a third time and first since 2015. The World Number Two has won twice this season in nine starts and claimed a further five top tens. Jon Rahm comes into the week looking to successfully defend his title. He’s managed subsequent top tens on the DP World Tour in his last two starts at the BMW PGA Championship and acciona Open de España presented by Madrid. The Spaniard arrives in Dubai with the chance to claim a record-extending fourth DP World Tour Championship and sixth Rolex Series title. Adrian Meronk will also fancy his chances this week. The Pole heads into the final event of the DP World Tour campaign as the only player to have won three titles this season. He’s also hopeful of grabbing exemptions into THE PLAYERS Championship and the Charles Schwab Challenge in 2024. Others to look out for are Min Woo Lee, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood and Viktor Hovland.

Thank you very much for this video. Very entertaining mix of lucky shots, skill shots, miracle shots and humorous situations. Never knew what was coming next.

Missed weird moment: When the winner didn't get presented a trophy. Poor lad had to awkwardly walk up afterwards and pick it up.

If only there was a sport where a telescoping pole had been developed to reach objects stuck in difficult places to reach.

Legend has it their still trying to get the ball out of the tree

So did they wise up and get a light person to hold up that could grab the branch?

and yes, 9 straight birdies, only done that at the Blackpool municipal course,

So, safe to assume the driver stayed in the tree and that poor chap played the rest of his round without the big dog?
